Disclaimer
This site explains criminal procedure in general terms. It is not advice about your case.
Attorney advertising

Prior results
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Every case turns on its own facts, its own record and the judge who decides it. Nothing on this site is a prediction or a promise about what will happen in your case.
Not legal advice
The pages on this site describe the usual steps and time limits in criminal cases in New York, New Jersey, Florida, Pennsylvania and the federal courts. Rules change and facts differ. Reading this site, using the what-happens-next tool or sending a form does not make us your lawyers. An attorney-client relationship begins only when we and you sign a written retainer agreement.
The what-happens-next tool
The tool shows the usual steps and time limits for the court and stage you pick. It does not know the facts of your case and it never predicts an outcome, a sentence or a plea. Do not rely on it alone.
Where we practice
Our attorneys appear in the courts where they are admitted. Their admissions are listed at the bottom of every page.
Translation
The language menu uses a machine translation service. The English version controls.
Photographs
Photographs on this site that show our attorneys are of our attorneys. Other scenes are illustrations. They are not photographs of real events, and no person in them is an actual client.
Other sites
Links to other sites are provided for convenience. We do not control them and are not responsible for what they say.
